[Polyps; rectocolic polyposis. Etiopathogenic and anatomoclinical data. Results].

The authors statistic concerns 370 interventions for adenomatous polyps and rectocolic polyposis (105 segmental exereses, 32 total or sub-total rectocolectomies, 233 direct, endo-anal or laparocolotomy electroresections). The necessity is stressed of the early detection of isolated, or of multiple polyps, or of potentially malignant polyposis, either genetically inherited or acquired, and on their radical extirpation from the beginning, an attitude that improved late oncologic prognosis (98% survivals after 5 years).
